Proton pass.
Used bitwarden for a long time til I lost my 2fa and lost the account. I also lost proton’s 2fa and they helped me get the account back. Been a customer since.

Yes I do care.
I don’t care about literally everything. But I do about most of it and love seeing it.

Passkeys are basically passwords that you don’t send to the server. So they are safer against phishing.
Basically the server has a message. They will scramble it with your public key. And send it to you. Your private key unscrambles the message and then you send the message back to them. So if they receive the original message back. They know you are you. And they never got their hands on your private key at any point. It’s awesome.
2fa is an entirely different thing. And I do wish it was more standard how it works. Some places if you lose it you lose your account (bitwarden). Others you don’t (protonmail).
Everyone should use passkeys. 2fa you have to decide if your case warrants it.
Edit: example of passkeys:
Step 1: they have the message “cat”
Step 2: they encrypt it with your public key and it becomes “acm”
Step 3: they send you the encrypted message “acm”
Step 4: you decrypt the message “acm” into “cat” with your private key.
Step 5: you send them back the message “cat”
Only your private key would be able to decrypt something encrypted with your public key. So they now know you are you. And they never got a hand on your private key. It’s the same as a password except you never send it directly to the server.

Personal stuff is mostly on my phone. And I’ll just sync to the computer what’s needed.

Looks good during the 20 seconds I tried it.
A subscription to post/comment on Lemmy is a hard hard sell though.

All my code and projects are on GitHub/codeberg.
All my personal info and photos are on proton drive.
If Linux shits itself (and it does often) who cares. I can have it up and running again in a fresh install in ten minutes.

Oh. I tried a bit before giving up. But lack of compatibility plus the insanely unreliable pixel battery just made me switch back to iPhone.
Thank you for the link though.

Tried to switch to graphene for a bit. Way too many apps don't work in it.

Funny. I didn't know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.
Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Taxis made their bed by being pieces of shit for a long time. No one will have any sympathy for their plight.

Most of the issue is that they're unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.
It'd be a great thing if it just worked.

Nah, I wanna hear about bugs that have affected you that you can confirm are bugs :-)
I'm glad you asked. 5 seconds ago gnome froze and sent me back into the login screen and closed all the apps I had open. Ask me again in 20 seconds and I'm sure I'll have a different bug for ya.
As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working. Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open. Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail. Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem? edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks *busy*. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.
I end up manually clicking to turn it on anyway every time. Would love to automate it.
I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me. I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually *tell* them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ? How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere? And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him? I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place? I'd love some help with all of this.
I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?
I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it's just not good. Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to. How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It's just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time. Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open? I'd love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.
So. I tried bitwarden for a while with 2fa. I absolutely did not realize that if you lose your 2fa you are done in that service. So yeah. Time to rebuild. I'm attempting to go all in on proton stuff ATM. Drive, email, vpn and password manager. What's the easiest way to set everything up in a way that the whole system is safe and that minimizes the chance of me locking myself out ? Stuff like. Do I bother with 2fa? What are yubikeys. Are these the answer? Do I 2fa all.accounts other than the protonmail one ? Long single use case passwords or memorizable ones ? Do I do throwaway emails or everything signs up to my main one ? Sorry if I overloaded questions. But id love go get insight from people with more experience. Edit. And oh. Threat model. Id love yo not lose accounts if someone physically steals one of my devices. I'd love to not get hsckdd online by someone random that is not targeting me specifically And in broad strokes. I'd like to keep all my accounts as private as possible from private companies and governments. But im flexible on this one if its too much hassle.
